Kerry looked down as he scratch the side of his forehead for a few seconds, then spent a few seconds more looking about the room before turning back to Annie. “How about I make a deal with you?”

Annie took this to mean it was going to see Coraline right away. Still, she wanted to hear what he had to say. “I’m listening.”

“Let’s go to Sorcery and if I’m still acting the same way a few hours from now, then I’ll go to the hospital when we come back for lunch.” He gazed into her eyes as he smiled. “Is that okay?”

“Only if you accept the stipulation that if I think you’re growing increasingly unable to control your mood, I tell Helena I’m taking you to the hospital and we go.” The smile she returned was warm but serious. “Otherwise, I’m just going to keep after you until we see Coraline before leaving for the Witch House.”

Knowing this was an argument he wouldn’t win, he capitulated with the curt nod. “I accept.” Without say anything else he dove back into breakfast while, at the same time, he tried not to appear as if he felt like he was about to explode.

As soon as they were finished with breakfast they grabbed their book bag and backpack and headed out of the Dining Hall. As usual, they used one of the west doorways before heading across the Rotunda towards the North Passage leading to Åsgårdsreia Tower. In the past they would continue through the tower and beyond The Pentagon so they could take the path to the Witch House, but these days, when weather was good, they flew: Kerry on his broom and Annie on her own. And with the weather today being good, they both look forward to a short, pleasant flight to their class.

They were about five meters pass the staircase leading up to the hospital when the morning pleasantness ended with a shout. “Malibey.”

Annie turned as did Kerry and saw Franky Smith, Fidele Diaz, and Gavino D’Addario enter the Rotunda from the same hall they had exited moments before. The trio of boys stopped about three meters from them and stood staring for several seconds.

With nothing said after five seconds Kerry took it upon himself to be the first to speak. “You guys want something?”

Franky finally found his voice. “I want to know why you crashed Lisa last weekend.”

Just when you think Kerry may get through the day without being bothered on the way to class, here comes trouble. And it’s really not a good time for him, right? Plus, what’s this “You wrecked Lisa” business? Which even has Kerry puzzled–

It was Kerry’s turn to wait several seconds before replying. “I crashed her?”

“Including Race Control?” Kerry shook his head as he sighed. “Who obviously didn’t see anything, because I never got called in for a discussion about wrecking her—” He turned back toward Franky. “Which I didn’t do.”

Annie felt as if there was something else going on at the moment. It wasn’t so much that Franky wanted to pick a fight about something that happened on the race course over the last weekend, as it seemed like the boys were confronting them in an effort to rattle Kerry. And she didn’t care for any of their reasons behind that premise. Normally Kerry wouldn’t rattle, but given what is going through this morning he just might.

Now, one might say someone’s pushing Kerry’s buttons, and we have some idea of what happens when that happens. But he’s never had his buttons pushed when he’s in this kind of mood, which could end up being… bad.

[Image via CW Network] As Cassidy announced last week, I will be taking over recaps of iZombie while she focuses on her Sense8 recaps and gets ready for the start Season 3 of Fear the Walking Dead.

So, what happened in Episode 8 (titled “Eat A Knievel”) of iZombie Season 3? Here’s the breakdown:

Episode 8 of iZombie sees Filmore Graves holding a meeting to discuss just how stupid it was for Justin (Tongayi Chirisa) and Major (Robert Buckley) to let those anti-zombie dudes escape in Episode 7. Because now its on the internet and shit could totally get real for zombies everywhere. Vivian (Andrea Savage) breaks up the meeting but asks Major to stay because she totally knows he is human now and just wants to mess with him for a bit before ‘fessing up.

Outside, when Major meets up with Liv (Rose McIver), who thinks he is getting…

It’s been a while since I’ve spoken with you. Perhaps speak isn’t the correct way to put things, but it works for me. In a way, I am speaking to you: I’m dictating this with Dragon software. It seems in the past couple of days Dragon has learned my idiosyncrasies far better than before, and […]
